Chapter 8 Upgrade of XSCF Firmware and Maintenance 8-11
Updating XCP From the Network
■ File preparation:
1. Download the XCP files from a public site to an arbitrary folder on a personal
computer or workstation connected to the server.
In the public site, there will be the XCP file (the firmware program (tar.gz)), the
MIB definition file, and a document concerning the XCP. There are three types of
firmware program files (tar.gz) as described below:
■ The firmware program for M3000 servers (the file name begins with IKXCP).
■ The firmware program for M4000/M5000 servers (the file name begins with
FFXCP).
■ The firmware program for M8000/M9000 servers (the file name begins with
DCXCP).
When you import the firmware (the XCP importing), choose the appropriate
firmware program for your system.
